Innehållsförteckning för Issue 86 från The Knitter

Summer’s here, so we’re dreaming of warm evenings, relaxed afternoons on the beach, and garden parties. This issue, we bring you LIGHT, COMFORTABLE KNITS to wear whether you’re at home or abroad. On our front cover is a gorgeous little sweater by MARY HENDERSON, which combines traditional Fair Isle colourwork with lace. We love the vintage style of PAT MENCHINI’s retro blouse, and her chic, wear-with-everything silky cardigan. We also have ethereal, lacy tops from ANNIKEN ALLIS and MARIE WALLIN, a stunning cabled bag from AMANDA JONES, and cheerful textured socks from CLARE DEVINE. Lightweight layers are so useful at this time of year, especially in Britain’s climate, which is why we have two ponchos: an exquisite lace design by JUDY FURLONG, and a more contemporary version from LOUISA HARDING.…

SOFT SUMMER Designer Sarah Hatton has put together a collection of summer favourites for Rowan, including sleeveless tops, fitted cardigans and a textured wrap. Each pattern is designed to work with either Rowan’s Handknit Cotton or Softknit Cotton yarns. The range of wardrobe staples includes a classic fitted V-necked cardigan, plus a looser open cardigan with moss stitch edgings. ‘Emma’ is a fitted, round-neck striped top, while ‘Jules’ is a scoop-necked vest with a textured pattern on the yoke. We also love the soft wrap with ganseystyle knit-and-purl patterning, the flattering, ribbed ‘Bev’ jumper, and the delicate cables of the ‘Erica’ sweater. Several of the patterns offer a choice of design options for sleeve lengths and neckline shapings. www.knitrowan.com 01484 681881 Eastern promise Tickets are on sale now for Fibre-East, the…

Manos del Uruguay Serena is one of our favourite summer yarns, and the new shades recently added to the Fair Trade range are simply stunning, with both solids and softly variegated colourways available.

The sleeveless ‘Ines’ top (pictured right) shows off the baby alpaca/pima cotton blend beautifully, as does ‘Sofia’, a richly cabled shrug.

Star letter The price of yarn Having subscribed to your magazine since issue number two, I have loved most of your innovative designs, and have had many happy hours perusing, planning and, yes, even knitting many of the patterns. Recently I found myself in the unfortunate position of having my husband seriously ill and having to retire due to ill health (I had to give up my job two years ago to care for him) so now we find money a bit tight. When Issue 85 came through the door, I straight away wanted to knit ‘Sargasso’ by Rita Taylor, which calls for The Little Grey Sheep Gotland yarn. Now, I knew about The Little Grey Sheep, as they had attended a spinning guild day, and their yarn is just…

“THE OPEN LACE PATTERN AND RELAXED NECKLINE ALLOW THE PONCHO TO DRAPE OVER THE BODY” “THIS IS a fine, easy-to-wear cover-up for summer evenings and those slightly cooler summer days,” says Judy Furlong. “Although this poncho is blocked to a square shape, the open lace pattern and relaxed neckline will allow it to drape over the body. The tassels are an optional finishing touch.” The poncho is knitted in the glorious Findley laceweight yarn from Juniper Moon Farm, which is smooth and sleek.

ANNIKEN ALLIS is a knitwear designer much loved for her delicate, beautiful lace knits. She is also a busy teacher, and shares her expertise with knitters around the UK. She regularly creates shawl and garment patterns for The Knitter, and is one of our most popular designers. On the eve of the publication of Anniken’s first book, and her announcement of her first-ever knitting retreat in Cornwall, we caught up with her to talk about her knitting life and career. When did you learn to knit? “My Mum taught me when I was very young. I don’t remember learning to knit; it’s just something I’ve always done. My Mum was always knitting so it was just part of my childhood.” What was the first original piece of knitwear you ever…

PAT MENCHINI’S neat summer top was inspired by 1930s styles, particularly the fitted blouses popular at that time. It features a deep ribbed waistband, cap sleeves, a tiny collar and a lovely lace stitch pattern. Pat has knitted her top in a luxurious blend of merino, silk and cashmere from Sublime, and has added a row of buttons down the front. “Try the design in a white yarn with small, black, buttons for a more demure, retro look,” Pat suggests.

Offering intricate, intriguing textures in cool shades of cream and blue, the new designer collection from Yarn Stories is packed with head-turning patterns. Inspired by coastal textures and with a nod to 1950s Riviera style, the Marine collection has contributions from Amanda Crawford, Carol Feller, Sasha Kagan, Emma Vining, Nick Atkinson and Charlotte Johnson. ‘Banyan’ by Amanda Crawford is a feminine fitted cardigan with a peplum shape and a pattern of delicate cables. Amanda has also designed ‘Valorum’, a swing jacket with a horseshoe cluster stitch highlighted with beads, and ‘Sloop’, a long cabled tunic. Emma Vining’s skills with texture are showcased in ‘Spinnaker’, a summer sweater with twisted stitches, cables and textures echoing waves breaking on the shore. Nick Atkinson’s ‘Caravel’ sweater uses a strikingly modern lace and cable…

“THIS IS a lovely big bag for all your shopping trips - it looks very smart and will go with any outfit,” says designer Amanda Jones. “The leather handles can be in any colour to match your wardrobe. Line the bag with a pretty fabric to finish it off.” The bag is knitted in the round so there are no seams. Amanda has used an aran-weight yarn from Twilleys of Stamford, called Freedom Alfresco, which is a soft blend of merino and alpaca and comes in six classic shades.

“I LOVE long, lazy summer days, possibly more than a knitter should!” says sock designer Clare Devine. “I could not resist this bright, cheery sunshine yellow yarn, hand-dyed by Ginger Twist Studios.

VINTAGE KNITS FOR HIM & HER by Ame England (David & Charles, £14.99) Ame England has set out to show how knitting styles from the past can work perfectly in a modern wardrobe - and has succeeded admirably, in our opinion! Her book of 30 patterns for men and women is divided into three distinct eras of vintage knitting - the 1950s, ’60s and ’70s. In the 1950s section, there are feminine, flattering little knits for women, including a Fair Isle sweater, a glamorous mohair sweater, and a polka-dot belted top - all with a definite Doris Day vibe. There’s also a very handsome men’s cabled cardigan. Graphic colourwork, contrast details and more relaxed shapes appear in the 1960s section; we love the classic sweater dresses, fitted and belted cable…

THIS KNITTED dress is designed to be feminine and comfortable. With long columns of lace patterning, it should flatter most figures; it also has a squared neckline and short sleeves. It’s knitted in the round to the armholes, then the front and back are worked separately. The pattern calls for an aran-weight yarn from Noro, called Tokonatsu. This features tweedy flecks of contrasting shades which complement the main colour, and knits up to produce a subtle fabric that has a soft, almost felted feel.

KNITTED IN a pure cashmere DK yarn, this short-sleeved top feels indulgently soft and drapes beautifully. It features an asymmetric lace and cable panel up the front, a cable up the back, and lace around the armhole edgings. The split, ribbed hem is worked in four separate pieces, which are then joined to work the back and front. The top is knitted in Pure Cashmere DK from Lotus Yarns, which is available in a choice of 12 neutral and jewel-like shades.

MARY HENDERSON’S beautiful summer jumper combines intricate colourwork inspired by traditional Shetland patterning with a delicate horseshoe lace stitch.

Pamela Wynne has created many wonderful, contemporary designs for yarn company Juniper Moon Farm, and The Electric Collection embodies her modern yet flattering style. ‘Firefly Cardigan’ is an open cardigan, with wide, short sleeves and draping, ‘waterfall’ front edges. It’s knitted sideways, and is here worked in a vibrant lime shade of Zooey yarn. ‘Argonic Dress’ is an elegantly simple knitted dress, worked in the round from the bottom up, with princess darts to shape the waist; its skirt has a beautiful swing to it! The long-line ‘Monatomic Tunic’ has buttons all the way down its back, a lacy collar, and a shirt-tail hem. The ‘Circadian Pullover’ is a relaxed, oversized garment with a wide neck and drop-shoulder sleeves. For more classic garments from Pamela, take a look at The…

I made this cardigan for my wedding in April, although sadly I didn’t get to wear it much! After some debate I had settled on a pattern from Rowan’s Magazine 37 by Sharon Miller, called ‘Marianne’. I made a few changes: I worked the cardigan in one piece to the armholes, worked longer sleeves, and altered the neck to begin at the same time as the armhole shaping, to make a slightly deeper V-neck. I also left out the neck band, in favour of a simple row of single crochet, as I knew I would be wearing the top open. The yarn used was Rowan Kidsilk Haze in Marmalade. www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/marianne…

EVERY HOLIDAY wardrobe needs a classic, comfortable cardigan that will go with everything, from flowery dresses to T-shirts and shorts. This design by Pat Menchini has all-round appeal. It’s knitted in Sirdar’s cool Cotton 4ply, which has a mercerised sheen and excellent stitch definition - so it shows off the little lace motifs perfectly. The cropped, round-necked shape is buttoned at the neck, while the fold-over hems on the body and sleeves help the garment to hang well.

THIS ETHEREAL top by Marie Wallin is designed to be loose-fitting, so the pattern incorporates a significant amount of positive ease. It has a wide round neck and short sleeves. The top half of the garment is in stocking stitch, while the bottom half features a beautiful lace pattern. Rowan’s Kidsilk Haze produces a fluffy, indulgent fabric; it looks stunning when knitted in a pale shade, as here, but would also work beautifully in one of the many bright colours in the Kidsilk Haze range.

Books about knitting are an absolute passion of mine. I’ve had the pleasure of reading hundreds of titles over the years in my role as book reviewer for The Knitter, and my house is stuffed with books old and new. Is it possible, though, to pick out the ultimate top 10 of knitting books? To choose those books I simply couldn’t live without, and which could inform and inspire my knitting for the rest of my lifetime? I decided to set myself the challenge of picking just 10 books to keep at home. I’d be interested to hear what you think of my choices! Get in touch! We’d love to hear your opinions – do you agree with our selection, or are there other books that would make your own…

THIS ROMANTIC, swishy skirt is made up of two layers - an overlay of lace, and an underskirt of stocking stitch with a lace border. The skirt is designed to sit on the hip bones, and the underskirt hangs below the lace overlay to reveal the contrast colour.

IN OUR masterclass in Issue 84, we examined ways to weave in yarn ends. This month, we take a look at methods of joining in new yarn during your knitting, to leave you with fewer of those pesky threads to sew in when you’re finished! One of the general ‘rules’ we’ve probably all heard is to never join in yarn in the middle of a row. But this theory doesn’t always work. What if you’re knitting in the round, for example, or your yarn breaks, or you’re happily knitting along until you come across one of those irritating little knots in your yarn? Here, we suggest a few methods designed to neatly join in a new yarn while minimising sewing-up time. THE FELTED ENDS TECHNIQUE One of our favourite techniques…
